DONOR SPOTLIGHT: Marietta Zacker from the Nancy Gallt Agency

6 hours until the end of the auction! Over the weekend, we'll be posting up a few agent/editor profiles to help writers get to know the amazing publishing professionals who have donated their time to the auction.

If you missed last weekend's Queer YA Scrabble and Author Blogathon, please remember to check out all the blog posts on the Post Master List! The bloggers responsible for the terrific blogathon have generated interviews, reviews, and posted excerpts for all the books participating in the event.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It's almost the end of the auction -- but not before we introduce the rest of our amazing publishing professional donors! I'd like to introduce Marietta Zacker from the Nancy Gallt Literary Agency. Marietta has kindly donated two "jump the query queue passes" ... her perks feature in the boxes for Clan Griffin and Clan Dragon.

Marietta has professionally experienced every aspect of children's books for over 15 years, working with authors, illustrators, publishers, educators and readers. As an agent, she is passionate about bringing those worlds together. She represents authors whose words make her pause, shiver or laugh out loud and illustrators who add a completely different dimension to the story being told. Marietta approaches her work with the knowledge that there are remarkable books of all genres, targeted to all ages, just waiting to be discovered! Marietta is also a judge for the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign upcoming Walter Grant Award.
